Rheon has now told Digital Spy that he would be open to returning to the franchise if the script and the storyline were good enough.

"I think I'd be an idiot not to [do it]," he said. "I think it'd be a really fun thing to go back and revisit, because obviously I feel so much love for Misfits and gratitude to them and those guys at [production company] Clerkenwell Films and E4, and how they gave me such a huge opportunity and gave me a lot of really challenging stuff to do while I was there. So yeah, if I get the opportunity, I'd love to."

Rheon added: "In a way, I do still feel like it never really got finished. I thought the Simon storyline in the third series was quite rushed and you didn't really get to see enough of it, for various reasons."

The actor admitted that it would be a "logistical challenge" to get the cast back together, but said: "I think it might happen. I think it's quite likely that it will happen, yeah, if they can get everyone together to do it."

Rheon also revealed that he "enjoyed" the last series of Misfits and described cast member Joe Gilgun as "hilarious".

"It's very weird watching it and being like, 'Why am I not in this?'" he joked. "But yeah, it was quite nice to watch it and not have the worry of me being in it! Being like, 'F**k, I hope I'm not s**t in this bit!' So it was nice."

Rheon can next be seen in ITV's comedy Vicious, which begins on Monday (April 29) at 9pm.
